Southlandshari and merh. You don't want to hear this.

[Maddy McCall]

Latest update:

934mb pressure now. 145mph sustained.

24.7N/85.9W.

FUCK! This thing just might be Cat 5 when it hits. :scared:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. That's catastrophic!

[Sannum]

2. Oh my god.

This isn't going to be good:cry:

Stay safe, Florida, DUers.

[southlandshari]

3. Fuck, indeed.

You are right, I did NOT want to hear that.

Blender going?

This is getting pretty scary, truth be told.

:scared:

[merh]

4. Well hell, why not!

:silly: History in the making and another adventure! :scared:

[southlandshari]

5. You must be drunk, darlin'

Is Maddy sharing her daquiris with you?

Are your hatches battened down?

:o

[merh]

7. Just about all is tended to - will just finish a few things at daylight

and head inland.

Can't get drunk, have to be able to function to finish battening down the hatches and to drive out. My luck, I'd get drunk, pass out and wake up to the storm beating down the hatches. :scared:

Drunk will be tomorrow! Bored & drunk. x(

[southlandshari]

8. Tomorrow. And the next day.

Looking forward to the same. And no DU.

:cry:

Stay safe, mehr!

[merh]

10. Yep, got the bottle of crown packed.

No DU, maybe for weeks! :cry:

Sorry that it is in a thread about this inconvenient mfer that we had to meet. We will arrange a meet up once we get beyond this crazy hurricane season.


You stay safe too! :pals:

[Zuni]

26. please be safe

you will be in my prayers

:grouphug:

[BlueIris]

6. Best wishes to all those in harm's way.

We're thinking of you.

[southlandshari]

9. Over and out, friends.

Will check back in when the forces of nature permit. The power here is already starting to blink.

:hi:

[Zuni]

27. much love

stay safe

:hi:

[southlandshari]

30. Thanks!

Sorry I missed that last night. Wasn't so bad in my area (compared to Ivan, which killed our power for three days and did some structural damage to our building).

I'm guessing power is still out for Maddy and mehr. They'll check in as soon as they can - anyone have phone numbers for them?

[xmas74]

11. Good luck to all!

One of the few times that I am happy to live in Missouri!

[hayu_lol]

12. Anyone in Biloxi/Gulfport...

Has Keesler been opened as a shelter?

[merh]

14. I don't know if they opened a shelter at KAFB

check wlox.com, they are supposed to have a list of shelters.

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

17. Here's the list at MS EMA website.

Shelters opened all around the state:

[merh]

19. Why thank you Maddy!

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

15. I don't think so. Here's a list of shelters in the area and in the state:

13. Jerry Tracey says

He's the weather guy out of B'Ham.

Looks like a direct hit on Gulf Shores at HIGH TIDE! Possible Category 5 storm!

Well gotta love the Tide. :eyes:

I'm scared mommy. And I'm WAY inland.

Wonder if FloraBama will rebuild after this one?

They're saying this will be the strongest storm to *ever* cross Alabama borders! 100+ mph winds as far north as Greene county.

How did this sneak up on us?

Twenty foot storm surge down on the gulf!

[Maddy McCall]

16. Hugs.

Yeah, I'm kinda freakin' out, too. Go look at the photos in the LBN hurricane thread. '

:scared:

[Syrinx]

18. thanks jchild!

I feel better with you on my side. You give me strength. (Sorry but I still think of you as that name.)

[Maddy McCall]

20. I know! All the old-timers do.

If Skinner gives us another grace period, I may as well change it back. :D

:hug: You take care of yourself, ya hear?

[Syrinx]

21. I wish you would!

Not that it's a big deal. :)

Thanks for the good wishes. Take care of yourself too. It may be turning west.

I hope none of us are hurt by this thing.

[Maddy McCall]

22. Check your PM.

I've given my phone numbers to other Miss./Ala. DUers tonight...let's have a little network in case we need it.

[southlandshari]

23. Are my Mississippi friends ok?

Is there a hurricane check in thread around here?

[sundog]

25. i was just gonna post a thread to check on maddy

hope all is well there

[Zuni]

28. good idea

I think it is a great idea. The only problem is that the power might not last long, but if they do have internet I would be relieved to hear that they are alright

[sundog]

29. her power must be out...

because i'm sure she would check in otherwise

[Zuni]

24. That is terrible

my prayers for the people in this monsters way
